How can they respect their history? I mean - what, are they proud of Maginot Line and the thing that Adolf steered cleer from it through Belgie etc? :D Or maybe because of agreeing to make a Hitler-trademark country, like Czech Rep? Or maybe of having party in the fortifications while Poland was getting destroyed? That's quite tempting :P

Btw. did you know that French guys were making their own gardens on the Maginot Line? What a nice way to spend the free time :P

No, not recent history, they try to forget all about that. And who can blame them.

yeah not many countries came out with happy memories of the world wars.

Erm, Iceland maybe ?

thanks dylanos :)

I'm a happy garlic munching surrender monkey with a beautiful life and lifestyle... suits me fine :)

japan and germany could be argued as having some good come out of the war as they got their countries rebuilt. granted, at the time it was a tad grim, but there is a lot of evidence to suggest that until recently their growth and economy have accelerated because of the WWII reparations.

incidently... i agree re quality of life. that is why i live and work in Namibia for little pay but massive life and soul benefits

and all the zebra you can eat.

that is what the 4x4 is for... you get a better quality of roadkill out here

And a better quality of crippling car accidents?

now that it is the dry season and the kudu and warthogs are on the move you can often get lucky and combine the two... that way you have something to distract the lions with when they come to inspect the wreckage of your 4x4

you're allright thanks, i'll take the tube. actually, i won't it's the a47, but that's not quite as catchy or well known.

That's if your conscious enough to worry about it!
Passenger: *Whisper* "There's something in the road!"
Dylanos: "Where, I don't see anything with all these bandages on. In fact, I probably shouldn't even be driving anyway."
Passenger: "There, in front of us, it's a bloody elephant!"
Dylanos: "Have you seen my sunglasses? I think they might be on the backseat."
Passenger: Generic howling followed by cartoon-style car crash noise complete with exploding car and wheels flying up into the air and bouncing about the place.

now then jim, you'll hurt his sternum :)

It is funny you say that as I often hear, "that dylanos has soul", or at least I think that is what is said.

Sofa king we Todd did?
